Council of Aranda

Held at Aranda in
the province of Burgos in Spain, in 1473, by Alfonso Carillo,
Archbishop of Toledo, to overcome the ignorance and evil lives of
ecclesiastics. Among the twenty-nine canons of the council is one
which says that orders shall not be conferred on those who are
ignorant of Latin. Several canons deal with clerical concubinage,
simony, clandestine marriages, etc.
